Last man standing...

Walker Miskelly

Your winner...Tara Snow

We have a winner

After a discussion the tournament has concluded.  Tara Snow is our champion and last woman standing.  More to come.  Congratulations to Tara, Dustin and Walker.  It appears there may be a chop in play in the one day tournament too.

Blinds are now 12k 24k 24k

Tara is chipleader.  Walker is chipping up and Dustin is a distant third.

Walker Shows a Bluff

Walker check raised Tara on the flop.  When she folded he tabled air.  Tara still with most of the chips.

Jay is our fourth place finisher

Jay jammed with 8c4c and Tara immediately reshoved from the button with 88s.  Walker in the big blind folded KQ face up.  The board ran flopped mostly clean but a club on the turn gave Jay hope for a flush draw.  It didn't hit.  Jay won a little over 11k for fourth.  What a great guy, always happy win or lose.

The final three players are all guaranteed over 13k.

Dustin Doubles Through Bishop

The Bishop might have outlasted Jesus but Dustin got him.  King Jack over Jack Three when a Jack hit the board.  Now, with a very

short stack Jay Bishop shoved blind and got it through.

Tara New Chipleader

Dustin took a hit from Walker and folded the river.

Jay played a bigger pot with Tara which she won at showdown showing Ace King on a King high board.  She's now at 1.57 million and the chip leader with most of the chips in play.

Jesus Out

Walker opened.  Jesus ripped.  Tara in the Big Blind mulled over her hand and also shoved.

Walker mucked King Jack face up.  Jesus turned over Ace 9 and Tara showed Ace Queen.

Ace on the flop and much of the drama was removed.  Brick on the turn.  Tara asked Terry the dealer, "Face card please."  She got it when a Jack hit.  Jesus finished fifth winning over 10k.

Prissy's Luck Runs Out...

Walker opened and Prissy shove over his bet.  He called with Ace Queen (again).  Prissy flipped Queen Jack up.  She overcame the odds again when a Jack hit the flop.  Turn was clean.  Dustin said, "Prissy you did it again with the Jack,"--in reference to her flopping a set of Jacks vs. his Queens.  BAM!  Ace on the river.

Prissy said, "Dustin, why did you have to jinx me!"

Dustin replied, "Payback's a bitch."

Prissy won $8,820 for sixth place.

Tara Snow now is officially our last woman standing and all remaining payouts are over $10,000.

Jesus Delivers Judgement Day

Walker raised and Judge Leo Boothe called on the button.

Jesus in the small blind 3bet and Walker folded.  After a long tank the judge called.

On a 965r flop Jesus put the rest of his chips in and Judge called again.  Seventh heaven for Jesus as he held 77 to the judge's 85 for a gut shot and a pair.

The turn came a deuce followed by a four on the river.  Judge who chopped the reentry at the start of the series finished seventh for $7,350 giving him over 30k in earnings in 10 days.  Out of the remaining six the three big stacks are Tara, Jay, and Jesus.

While typing this we learned
Dustin and Walker got it in on a flop.  Dustin flopped Broadway with his King Jack and Walker top two with AQ.  Dustin got the double as no Queen or Ace came.

Judge Doesn't Get a Walk, and then Walker Gets the Judge

Post Flop: Walker checked to Judge Leo Boothe who shoved all in.  Walker said "I... call."  He had flopped two pair to the Judge's second pair.  The Judge slid him twelve 25k chips to match his 300k after the turn and river did not improve his hand.

Snow Quiets Musick

James Musick shoved from the button with AJ and Tara Snow

woke up to AK in the big blind and called.  King hit the flop and that was all she wrote for James after two bricks on the turn and river.  He offered his hand and congratulated the remaining players.  Musick won $5800 for 8th place.
 

Jaime Kizer

As soon as we hit the update desk Jaime Kizer went down.  Jay opened under the gun and Jaime shoved right behind him.  Folded back to Jay who called.  Jaime had Ace Jack and Jay Ace King.  They both flopped an Ace but the board ran our clean for Jay.   What a great run for Jaime as he battled all day with a short or medium stack.  They are now down to 8.  Jaimie won 4.4k for 9th and Bryne Wilson 3.5k for 10th.

Official Final Table

Action picked up...  Bryne Wilson shoved from early position and Jesus announced All-in.  The crowd gathered around the table.  Tara Snow thought long and hard about joining in but folded.

"Shit, she had my hand," Jesus said.  Bryne turned over pocket 5s happy.  When the flop came it was Jesus who was happy as an Ace fell.  King on the turn.

Walker Jokes and The Musick Stops It

Walker Misrelly opened and as the first couple of people folded he quipped, "I hope nobody said all in."  The table laughed than James Musick said "All-in," from the small blind and Walker quickly folded.  Somebody said, "You had to say it."

Lots of Shoving...

No calls...

We've watched James Musick,  Bryne Wilson, and Dustin Stewart all shove and scoop the blinds.  Play has slowed at this point.

A Reminder of What They Are Playing For...

Meanwhile Dustin opens and Jesus shoves from the small blind.  Dustin folds and Jesus show rockets.

Dustin Doubles

After break, Dustin announced All-in and put a couple of big chips into the pot.  We assume Walker Misrelly (pictured) didn't hear him with his heads phones on.  He pushed a stack of chips into the pot.  Then he saw it was an all-in and slid them back.  They made his chips stay and mandated a call.  The rest of the table folded and Misrelly turned over 107 of hearts.  Dustin pocket Queens.  Walker flopped a gut shot.  He called for a 9 but it did not come.

Dustin Stewart shoved and Prissy Giroir Called

When the cards were turned over Prissy was in a bad way and started organizing her stuff.  Prissy had Jacks and Dustin Queens.  On the flop the odds flipped as Prissy hit a Jack.  Dustin had back door straight outs but nothing materialized.  After the hand completed they basically flipped stacks with Dustin at 100k and Prissy 301k.

Tara Snow and Jay Bishop lock up

Tara opens and gets 2 callers...one is Jay Bishop. The 2 biggest stacks at the table and the Flop is Ks4c3s... Tara makes a nice bet...3rd player folds and Jay flats...turn is the Kh...Tara bets out in the ballpark of 20k...Jay smooth calls again...river 2d...Tara leads for 35k...Jay folds and shows a 4 to the table...Tara Snow drags one to her stack

Prissy Doubles

Prissy Giroir shoved over Walker Misrelly's open.  Big blind James Musick tanked and said, "Nit fold."  Walker didn't fold and called.  Prissy was flipping with A10 v. Walker's pocket 8s.  A ten on the flop held for Prissy.  Still at 10 players.

2 Playes bite the dust and we are at the final 10

Ralf Reid opens with a raise under the gun...Ken Steele rips about 80k...Jay Bishop in small blind goes in the tank and eventually smooth calls...Dustin Stewart releases the big blind...then Ralf re-ships over the top and barely has Ken covered...back around to Jay...Jay eventually throws in the calling chips.

Ralf tables KK...Ken AJo...Jay with the big stack has 10-10.

Flop comes 10 high...with a bonus 10 on the river to solidify the crushing defeat with quads. We heard someone say "That's how you run good" faintly in the background. Ralf below and Ken below him in the pics.

Dustin Finishes Him: Chris Canan 12th

Dustin Stewart opened for 18k and Chris Canan shoved from the button for 59k.  Dustin called with Ace Queen.  Chris turned over pocket 9s.  Queen in the window and no help on the turn or river for Chris.  Chris won a smidge over 3k for 12th place.

Canan Cut Down

Chris got it in with Ace King vs. Dustin Stewart's pocket Aces and the Aces held.  Chris is now under 10 bigs and has gotten a shove through since.

MONSTA Pot

Jerry Giroir shoved about 61k.  Gavin Munroe flatted.  Folded to Jay Bishop on the button and he shoved.  Gavin called.

Bryne Wilson said he folded 9s.  Jerry's had the least amount of chips and the worst hand--never fun.  His pocket 10s were a big dog to Gavin's QQ and Jay's KK.  The board did not improve anybody and Jerry finished 16th.  After Gavin's chips were counted he headed to the cage in 15th spot.

Jay is now the chipleader of the tournament.

While doing this update Adrian Marbleton got it in with Ace King to Judge Leo Boothe's pocket Aces and he finished 14th.  We are getting close to our final table.

Bryne Wilson Doubles

His Ace Jack improves on a Jack high flop after getting it all in pre vs. Gavin Munroe's King Ten.  Bryne had gotten a little short and now has some fighting chips.

Btw, nice to see the bling on these in the money players (not real gold).

Eddie Allen All-in and Out

Eddie Allen's Jack Three suite and was called by Walker Misrelly's A10.  Neither player improved and Eddie heads to the Pay Out Cage.

Aces against Kings...Bishop vs Alina

The hand we all hate with KK...in this hand Jay Bishop had the bullets and Andy Alina the KK...AA holds up with no 2 outers or drama involved...Jay doubles while Andy drops to below 50k

A few hands later...same 2 players...Jay with 5-5...Andy A-10o...fives hold up and Andy Alina is our 18th place finisher

Walker Misrelly squeaks one out against Eddie Allen

Walter and Eddie get it all in the middle preflop...Eddie shows As Kd with Walker tables 2 jacks with JcJd...flop not good for Walker as King hits...but wait...there are also 3 clubs on the board...drama doesn’t last long as the fourth club hits ...Walker doubles up and leaves Eddie with about 60k

Bubble Burst Trace Henderson Unlucky 19th

The bubble has burst.  Dustin Stewart opened and Trace Henderson shoved from the small blind.  The big blind called and Dustin folded.  Trace showed King 10 and was up against when AK flipped over.  Neither player improved and the bubble popped.  The In The Money beads have been distributed.  Pictures to come.
